Live in Housekeeper, Dorset
Silver Swan is currently seeking a dedicated Live-in Housekeeper for a stunning household near Sherbourne, Dorset. This lovely Couple have three school aged children and a very friendly 2 year old Labrador, so we are looking for dog lovers!

As well as the main house, there are 2 office outbuildings on the property that will require occasional cleaning. There is also a tennis court and swimming pool on the property.
